Description

In a future shattered by war, a young Tenno stands alone—scarred by the death of his brothers, haunted by memories of battles lost, and gripped by despair. When the stars themselves seem to offer no salvation, he makes a desperate pact with the Void: a timeless, enigmatic force that watches the cosmos with indifferent curiosity.

The Void listens.

In exchange for his surrender, the Tenno is hurled across millennia into the forgottenNeo era—a primitive age when the Orokin Empire is still ascending, its ambition outpacing its wisdom. He awakens not as a warrior, but as aDax initiate, consigned to serve the very architects of the horrors yet to come. Stripped of his Warframe, surrounded by ancient technologies and cruel masters, he must survive the brutal experiments of Ballas, who sees in him the perfect subject for the first protoframe and the parasitic Helminth strain.

But he is not alone.

The Void has followed—its whispers now a constant presence. Mysterious, playful, and vast beyond comprehension, it offers him power... and a purpose. In the shadows of history, the Tenno begins to shape the future.

Hey everyone! Author here!This is my first time writing a novel, so there might be a few rough edges. I’d really appreciate any feedback or suggestions you have—especially language corrections, since English isn’t my first language and since I'm using AI to refine my writing.

I’m also a medical student, so between college and work, things can get hectic.Updated Schedule: Will release one chapter Monday and Thursday. (GMT + 5.30)

I’m actually here after finding your link on Reddit, and I’m glad I gave this a shot. The premise on a time-displaced Tenno manipulating Orokin history is brilliant, and whatever is written so far is solid. The prose is sharp, blending clinical Orokin cruelty with cosmic horror from the Void. Vashtorr’s struggle to hide his abilities while navigating Ballas’ experiments is interesting. I would love it if MC kicks ballas soon. Hated him in the original lore.
That said, I’m withholding full marks because I need to see how the long game plays out. The time-travel mechanics and endgame need satisfying payoff, and is there romance? I want space mommy back. (Or something. I dont want to make it weirs as she is literally our foster mother)
Minor gripes aside, this is an interesting read. This could be a gem. Definitely watching for updates!
